I am sorry that I have not been able to post. I wanted to stay and play cricket instead of going into town. Than today I walked all the way into town and there was no power.
So, new news I am a first grade teacher!!! It is difficult, I just got my second class calmed down and now they put me with this wild class. One of the boys needs A LOT of attention, I have to hold him the whole time or he walks around and takes the other kids things. I went in the room the other day and saw that he had stole my marker!!!! I did not even know that it was gone. I keep taffy in my pocket and tell him if he sits still I will give it to him a break. I was going to ask everyone to pray that we get internet, but as we speak one of the Uncles said that we will get it in a couple of days. Which in India means in a week or so. I will write more when I have time. Please if anyone has advise about working in first class lpease let me know I feel a little overwelmed.

All I can really say is Patiants!! It will get easier as you get into more of the swing of things! That is the only thing that is going to work. The more stressed out you are the more stressed out the kids will be because they will sense it. The best thing you can do is find the little tricks that work with the kids. You seem to with one of the little boys already. They can be a lot of stress somedays but they are also so much fun! Just keep in mind that you are only one person and you can only do so much, what you have planned for the kids to do doesn't always work as you have planned. Be flexable for that reason. You will get good at thinking on your feet when something doesn't work the way you want it to but you still have something to teach the students you will learn to adapt things on the fly to help the students understand what is going on in the lesson!! Good luck and don't forget to breath! You will do great!!!
